Let's Get Physical: Tangible Interaction and Rapid Prototyping
in, for, and about Design
a Design Computing and Cognition (DCC 2006) Workshop
Eindhoven, The Netherlands, 8th July 2006
Details at http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~ellendo/workshop-gross.htm
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP AIMS
Following decades in which design computation was almost exclusively the
domain of software, today many investigators are building hybrid systems
and tools that, in one way or another, bridge the divide between physical
"real world" artifacts and computational artifacts. On one hand the rapid
rise and popularity of mass-customization, rapid prototyping and
manufacturing raises questions about the kinds of software systems and
tools that might make these hardware technologies useful in designing. On
the other hand, advances in microcontroller and communications
technologies has led to a wave of embedding computation in physical
artifacts and environments - that is, tangible interaction.
The "Let's Get Physical" workshop calls for position papers that populate
in this space of hybrid computational-physical systems, particularly in
relation to design. Topics might include (but are not limited to) the
following:
1. systems, methods, and tools for rapid prototyping and manufacturing
in design
2. tangible interaction with design software
3. design methods for tangible interactivity
4. toolkits for tangible interaction design
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will include two sessions. The first is devoted to short
presentations of papers selected from the pool of submissions. The second
is devoted to an open discussion in a roundtable format.
SUBMISSION INFORMATION
Contributions to the workshop should be submitted in the form of brief
position papers or extended abstracts, approximately 1000 words long.
Figures and references can be included. These papers will be assessed by
the workshop committee for inclusion in the workshop. These position
papers should outline a piece of original research or contain a succinct
review of the state of the art.
Please submit your workshop position paper to the Workshop Chair
formatted according to the DCC06 paper guidelines.
